Join us as we speak to Tina Onikoyi (M.S., LPC, NCC, BC-TMH), Founder and Clinical Director of The Center for Wellness. This week, we go on another vent session. We are here to discuss the taxing experience the black community has experienced in 2020. Furthermore, we wanted to discuss how we, in the BIPOC community, can navigate these trying times while being kind to ourselves and our mental health. Plus, Tina drops some knowledge on us: we are not minorities - we have been minoritized. Those are two very different things.

This episode is all about Maria and Aracelis - Get to know them as they assess their Myers–Briggs Type Indicator personality profiles. In the process, they identify things about themselves they are proud of, still cringe at and still self-conscious about.

Welcome to the year 2021! It's the Three Wise Kings Day!! El Dia de los Reyes Magos is a widely celebrated holiday within Hispanic/Latin American culture. Some of us in the U.S. still celebrate it. Join Maria and Aracelis as they discuss how this day has been celebrated by their families. Hear about the Dominican, La Vieja Belen; and Mexico's king cake - Rosca de Reyes. As we have strayed away from this tradition over the years, join us as we venture into celebrating it our own way: sharing it with you! Feliz Dia de Los Reyes Mago!

This one's a long one. This week we grapple with religion and reconciling our faith in the world we live in. It's a complicated and difficult discussion for us, but one we felt was needed. Many of us grow up within religious households but as we grow up we struggle with what religion means and how we feel. Get ready for a lot of Aracelis ranting - bear with us.

We finished Mexican Gothic!!! Unfortunately, this read flared up Maria's fears of fungi and revived some of Aracelis' repressed memories of the 1989 film "Puppet Master".
